Hong Kong

In 'International'

The University of Birmingham has a thriving population of 206 students from Hong Kong following a range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

Being the home of the Common Law system, the UK has traditionally trained the leading lawyers working in Hong Kong. Many of our former students who have returned to practise in Hong Kong now enjoy successful legal careers. The most notable of these is Mr Justice Geoffrey Ma Tao-Li, the Chief Justice of the High Court in Hong Kong, who graduated from the LLB programme at Birmingham in 1977.

Student societies

Many nationality groups form student societies during their time at the University of Birmingham. Far Eastern ConneXions Society (also known as FECX) has members from a variety of different Far Eastern countries such as China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and many more. A large majority of the FECX committee is made up of international students from Hong Kong.
